Attorneys who've been defending MyPillow chief executive and election denier Mike Lindell against defamation lawsuits by voting machine companies are seeking court permission to quit, saying he owes them unspecified millions of dollars and can't pay the millions more that he'll owe in legal expenses going forward.

It’s the latest in a string of legal and financial setbacks for Lindell, who propagates former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him, in part by rigged voting machine systems. Several big-box retailers, including Walmart, have discontinued his products.

“MyPillow's been decimated. ... We've lost hundreds of millions of dollars,” Lindell said, adding that the other main assets he has left are his home and pickup truck. He blamed Dominion, Smartmatic and the news media, including the conservative outlets Fox News and Newsmax.

Too bad he's not the "MyTent" guy, at least he would still have 1 home.

Well I'm sure he's not actually fully out of money. But I would give quite a bit to see him resort to making a pillow fort to live in

Considering what a coke head he is, he probably already tried.

I hate the guy, but c'mon. It's right there in the post excerpt.

Per who. If he is saying that is all he has left. I call bullshit.
